and over protectiveness.
“Yeah, you can go. But don’t stay out too late. It may be the night before your birthday but it is still a school night.”
I nodded. “Got it. I’m going to go change.”
He just shrugged and went back to watching the five o’clock news.
I went back upstairs and slipped into something comfortable but still a bit sexy. But thing revealing. My father would most definitely change his mind if I decided to leave wearing a mini skirt as cold as it was going to be tonight.
“Do you have a jacket?” He asked as I headed for the door.
“Yup.” I thought about where I’d last left my hoodie. “It’s in the car.” At least I was certain it was in the car.
There’s a bit of ice in the forecast for tonight so-”
“I’ve got boots on, papa. I’ll be fine.”
“Drive safe! And be back by one.”
This made me skid to a stop. “One?”
He smiled. “You’ll be eighteen by then. I figured you needed a new curfew.”
“Thanks papa.”
I left then and headed to the fair downtown.
It didn’t take me long to get there, but took me forever to find a parking spot. Once I did I headed to the ticket booth to pay to enter and to pay for my wrist band that would allow me to ride whatever I wanted. As I stood in the unbelievably long line, I noticed that there were quite a few people around. The parking lot didn’t do the crowded area justice. It seemed that everyone in town was here. And I do mean everyone.
As I scanned the inside of the temporary amusement center, I saw a few familiar faces but one in particular stuck out to me. Miller. He was with a redheaded woman who was dressed in a very short pink dress for it to be less than fifty degrees tonight.
He didn’t see me which made me realize that coming here was a big mistake in the first place. What if he did see me in there? Would he cause a scene? Was he drunk? Would he tell someone?
I took out my phone so I could call Jack and tell him something had come up. As I began to turn and leave the line I bumped into someone a few feet taller than me. He steadied me before I tripped over my own feet.
I looked up at the man that had just prevented me from an embarrassing fall with a smile and apology, though when I realized it was Devin, they turned a shocked frown and a small apology.
“No problem. Funny running into you here.”
So it had been him talking about the fair tonight.
The line began to move considerably faster since my almost accident and a few people behind me began to groan at my slowness. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to leave now or not.
“Can we talk?”
“Look buddy,” an older man behind me with graying hair and three children said. “Some of us want to get in there before the place closes. So take the clumsy girl and go talk somewhere else or keep the line moving.”
I could tell Devin didn’t too much like the man’s attitude but he refrained from saying anything to him. He looked back at me who, still standing shocked holding up the line, looked at him in a daze as the question still hung in the air.
As a cool breeze passed, whipping my hair a bit, I snapped out of my haze.
“I sorry.” I said moving forward. I realized that another ticket taker had come to aid the original which was why the line was now moving faster. “I can’t, I’m meeting…”
“Jack.” He nodded moving with me. “I came-” He broke off, looked behind him at the man that was standing a little too close to us, then whispered, “I wanted to apologize.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I didn’t want to. I just didn’t know what to say.
“I was hoping to catch you here. I was hoping we could talk about today.”
“I don’t think this is the perfect time for this.” I whispered back looking around us. There were a few people here that I knew personally. And I knew if I knew them then there was a possibility that he knew them too.
It was finally my turn at the booth but as I took out my wallet and tell the woman what I needed, Devin spoke up.
“Two tickets and two wrist bands, please.” He said slipping the money under the glass window.
She didn’t question him; I actually don’t even think she noticed us. She had seen numerous faces tonight, both young and old. I didn’t think she really cared anymore so long as she got the money.
“You didn’t have to do that,” I said as he placed the blue band around my wrist.
He had walked me inside and my senses, already overrun by funnel cake and children’s laughter, were overrun with that and now the bright, flashing lights and other foods.
He just shrugged. “I know you don’t want to talk to me right now.”
“That’s not it at all. I was actually planning on calling you tonight.”
He gave me a small smile. “If that’s true then meet me before the park closes, at the Ferris Wheel.”
The park closed at twelve, if he wanted me to meet him around that time my father was not going to be too happy with me.
“Okay.” I nodded despite knowing the cussing I was going to get. “I’ll meet you there.”
His smile widened. Good. I’ll…see you around then?”
I nodded once more. “I’ve got to get going.”
He let me leave then and I went to go find Jack.
“I didn’t think you’d make it.” Jack brought me in for a hug after making sure no one was really paying us any attention.
“I saw your father on the way here.”
He frowned. “That’s not really something I want to talk about when I’m hanging out with my girlfriend.”
“Jack if we get caught-”
“We won’t.” He brushed his lips against mine. “That was the last affectionate thing I will do tonight. Publically anyway.”
I smiled.
He grabbed my hand and began to lead me away from the Ferris Wheel.
“Where are we going?”
He smile brightly. “To ride all the rides here of course.”
And that’s what we did. The Spaceship, The Titanic, The Bottle Rocket, The Pirate Ship. You name it we rode it. And not once did we get sick. We ate pretzels and shared a nacho with jalapeños. All in all the night was pretty perfect.
That is, until I saw the creepy ass clown. Jack knew I hated clowns, especially creepy ass clowns. They were just….well creepy as hell. But that didn’t stop Jack calling it over, nor did it stop him from pinning my arms behind my back as the clown danced it’s way over to my trembling and groaning form as I tried to break free from Jack’s hold.
As it got closer my fear began to take over. I was deathly afraid of clowns ever since I’d seen this movie where the clown sprouted razor sharp teeth, claws, and killed these kids. Clowns really freaked me out and he knew that.
But tonight he thought it was funny. Even as I began to cry out for him to let me go. I shut my eyes trying to envision a happier scene. One where this clown was being pushed in front of a truck or being torn apart by a swarm of hammerhead sharks. But every time I opened my eyes I saw that mocking red smile, pale while face, and bodacious red nose coming towards me.
“Jack,” Devin commanded suddenly behind us. “Stop messing around. Let her go.”
“Oh come on, Mr. Simmons.”
“Now.” His voice held a very commanding tone that shook me a bit. “You see she’s terrified.”
I knew it shook Jack too because he released me and before I realized, I was running from him and into Devin’s arms. I closed my eyes shut tight to get rid of the image and after a moment I was fine.
“I didn’t mean to upset her.” Jack’s voice snapped me out of my terror and made me realize that it wasn’t him I was nearly hyperventilating on, it was Devin.
I pulled away from him and quickly wiped my teary eyes before I turned back to Jack.
“You can be a real ass you know that?” I asked. “You know. You know I hate clowns.”
I couldn’t talk to him right then. As I looked at him, I knew he was sorry for what he had done, but I just…my heart was still racing and people were still staring.
“It’s getting late,” I said shaking my head. “I need to get home.”
“I’ll walk you to your car.” Jack offered.
“I can make it.” I snapped.
“Layla, I didn’t mean-”
“Yeah,” I sighed. “But you did it anyway.”
I walked away from him then. Sometimes Jack was sweet, but other’s like tonight, he could be a real jerk. He liked preying on peoples weaknesses and he knew this one was mine. I was terrified.
Checking my phone, I saw that it was about twenty minutes till closing. My father hadn’t called yet but I knew it wouldn’t be long. When I was out with Marina there was normally a thirty minute grace period but this may have been pushing it a bit.
Still, I made my way to the Ferris Wheel to meet Devin. People were beginning to leave the park so I made it there faster than I would have if it was still crowded. He was the only one standing there so it wasn’t hard to spot him.
“Are you alright?” He asked removing his hands from his pockets.
“What did you want to talk about?”
“I paid him to keep it open just for a few more minutes so we could go up,” he said looking over at the operator. “Take a ride with me.”
I did as he said and let him help me climb into one of the creaky chairs.
Once to the top things were pretty awkward again until he spoke. He began apologizing right from the start.
“I’m sorry. I love you, Layla. Please know that that is the only reason I act the way I do. I can’t help the way I feel about you. But when you lie to me…I just…I want us to be honest with each other.”
“I was going to tell you. You have to believe me when I say I didn’t mean for you to find out this way. I just…”
“You love me and you didn’t want to hurt me. I understand that.” And I loved that he understood that. “But you have to realize that withholding that information from me hurt me more than if you would have told me from the beginning. I wouldn’t… I would have been trying to spend our last few months together trying to figure out how to get you to stay or hell spending more time with you. Making sure our last few months were filled with perfect moments and not with arguments.”
I nodded. I understood now that no matter what, this man was going to love me. It didn’t matter how many times we argued, how times Miller tried to break us apart. This man was going to love me. All of me.
“I need you to promise me something, I need you to promise that from here on out there will not be any more secrets between us.”
“I can do
